This deep, even layered chrome surface creates a luminous and mirror like sheen. Grohe finishes are life tested to withstand 60,000 “wipes” with an abrasive cloth.

Beautiful FaucetIt is difficult to review a faucet after only a few weeks use. Ask me in five years and I can tell you more - and might give it more stars. It goes well with stainless steel appliances and is easy to use. It was easy to install.

Fabulous kitchen faucetI ordered this faucet for my recent kitchen remodel and I love it. I was impressed with the service I received from build.com when I called with a shipping question and I was impressed with how quickly my faucet arrived. My plumber commented right away on what a high quality faucet it was and he was impressed with the price I paid for it. I got it on sale. This faucet works beautifully and it looks like a piece of art in my kitchen. It has great pressure and the nozzle goes back in crisply and snugly. I would recommend this product to friends. I have seen similar faucets in designer kitchens on HGTV

Great PurchaseI ordered the Lady Lux3 pull down faucet because my other one was old, was a bit nervous that it wasn't going to fit, but its looks great and works as well as it looks. I wouldn't hesitate ordering again from Faucet Direct.

LadyLux3 Pull-down kitchen faucet GroheVery nice looking faucet, works well with the range of swivel that reaches second sink while still clearing the upper cabinets.

Nice faucetSo far so good with the Grohe LadyLux3. It arrived quickly, was easy to install, and appears to be a solid piece of plumbing. I was replacing a worn out Moen faucet that was not of the same quality as the Grohe.

Great ChoiceWorks well. The installer from FaucetDirect.com was great. Now I have a plumber for future needs. The only complaint is the faucet drips two or three times after it is turned off and sometimes a minute or two later. I love the ability to turn on the faucet with my elbow and to be able to turn the faucet back on the the last temperature setting. It seems to be made very well. The installation price paid was well worth it.

Works Great So FarThis faucet was recommended by a very experienced contractor. I was hesitant but I do like the faucet. Install was done by a GC but seemed simple. Time and use will tell but I do like the first impression of operation and quality.
